Class History LL great events and achievements are usually recorded in history fthat is if they are truly greatl , therefore, we, the Class of '14 having achieved the title of Seniors feel constrained to relate our trials and tribulations so that those coming after may realize our struggles-'? and be ruled accordingly. The Class of 1914 first gained prominence and fame the day they entered the H. S. as Rhinies with thirty-five mem- bers enrolled in' their class. They elected class oHCicers and Bill Ellet was chosen unanimously as president. This year, being our first, passed very smoothly and peacefully. We closed the 'year by having a straw ride out to Fisher's Lake. This was our first class picnic and we have since looked forward to it as an annual event. In September we were re-established in the Halls of Knowledge as Freshmen and were initiated into the mysteries of Latin and Algebra. During this year our class was in- creased by the appearance of Doris Arney, Fern Bingman, Lorena Dimmick, Dorothy Dunn, George Fisher, Mildred and Grace Garl, Earl and Hazel Gregg, Thelma King, Myrtle Louks, Russell Mann, Leah Roys, Coleta Sassaman, John Shafer, Clarence and Nettie Smith, Jennie Shern, Lulu Sch- weitzer, Esther Swanson, Alto and Elta Schug, Alva and Maude Willoughby, Earl Zander, Ivy Zerby and Katherine Zierle. Our class, by this time, could boast of fifty-eight members. We closed this year as before with a straw ride to Fisher's Lake. When we started for the lake, we had the promise of a nice day, but immediately after dinner the rains descended and the Hoods come and beat upon the cottage where we fled for shelter, but we heeded it not, for while waiting for the cessation of the wind and rain, we played games, roasted frankforts and had a general good time. After completing our Freshman course, we were ready for the second stage of development, namely that of Soph- mores. We felt rather forsaken on finding that sixteen .of our classmates had departed and only three new pupils were enrolled, namely, Marie Rohrbaugh, Harley Skeer and Harold Sevison. This year we were introduced into the arts of Botany by Miss Shimek. Was ever a subject so enjoyable and entertaining? The long Botany trips that were taken were a source of pleasure as well as instruction. At this time we had our famous clash with the Juniors, because of our colors. They insisted on having green and white for their colors even though they knew we had chosen them in our Freshman year for the remainder of our H. S. career. It was finally settled satisfactorily-for us at least. At the picnic this year some of our boys showed decided pre- ference for some of the Centreville bunch who were pic- nicing also. In September, 1912, we gathered our remaining forces and started our career as Juniors. This year we felt as though we could conquer the world if necessary. We were joined at this time by four new students, Jennie Balch, Jean Cummings, Clarence Carrow and Alice Brewer. We did E271
